Welcome Back Monday (Dental Designs) by: Yaima Mejias If you ask anyone how it feels to work on a Monday after a peaceful Sunday at home, that person would just crawl the walls and would give you the “DO NOT DISTURB” look. Our schedule is so tight up with the fact that, there are too many errands to run but, not so many accomplished in the to-do-list. Then, if you have to stop by the dentist, it becomes a challenge itself to overcome. At Dental Designs, not only we want to show you the royal dental benefits of a Monday with us but, the other bright side of the first day of work here. Our Monday morning rituals in Dental Designs are blessed with a meeting that covers from A to Z, from left to right and up and down about our patients and their needs. But first, let me introduce our managers: Michelle, Zayda and Ariana. These three musketeers would make your dental life easier and much more simple to understand. There is always a purpose behind every word they say, and when ...

It is what it is: Is it really? When it comes to dentistry, a lot of folks try to write a glossary of fine words and cute phrases to adorn the fact that, if you are in pain, missing a tooth or never been in a dentist , then definitely you need to visit one of them. With the era of new technology, old days where the smell of a drill would turn your head away are saying good bye forever and the opportunities of having a new smile are way closer than before. Now, to find a needle in a haystack is a different story, because you can find an office with doctors but, great doctors who care, that is a true thoughtful search to match your dental soul mate. November of 2012 was falling through its typical weather in Florida, not cold but yet, amazingly hot. I was applying for a job as a dental assistant and met Dr.Padilla not by coincidence but on purpose.  I didn't realize that I was in front of a dental mogul that would not say more than he should and no less than expected.

One Step Ahead If you are ready for a dental visit, we know that there are many hours of planning involved in it.  It could include taking care of your hair, nails, wear different solid color shirt or pants, the  perfect cologne, managing your schedule and sometimes kids. You also try to pick comfortable  shoes to walk firm into our offices that you do not usually like because you are sort of scared or  nervous. Not everyone is prepared for a dental appointment and that's when some of us can experience a "tick" in our stomach or a "jump" in the belly. At Dental Designs, we are aware of  the word "Anticipation" which is the key to our success. Once you arrive, the tension is on. Our Team is prepared to listen to your worries, from the Front  Desk to the Dental Assistant, and ultimately, the Doctor. The moment you step into the room,  you look around and all you can see is: needles, dental instruments and sometimes an empty  chair waiti...

We Speak Your Language  Dental Designs is known by its diversity.  We are a multicultural team full of energy and optimism. When you arrive to our offices in Naples and Fort Myers, you can feel the warm atmosphere surrounding the hallways painting smiley faces all over the operatories.  Some might say: "I am in the right place", or "I am glad I came". In reality, we all come with fears and questions that were never answered the proper way at one time. Others, experience their "first date" with the dentist and want to come back because they found" The One". That is the reason why, patients in their dentist's visits are trying to look for hope, change and reassurance before making a decision on a treatment, followed by a final result that melts your eyes exceeding your  first expectations when finished. Statistically speaking, 7 of out 10 patients come from different backgrounds. Most of them have  doubts and they worry if ...
